▌ OpenAI will release a large number of new products this week
OpenAI founder and CEO Ultraman Sam said on social media that in the coming week, many exciting products will be released, starting tomorrow (i.e. Tuesday, Beijing time).
▌Trump : Focusing on semiconductors and the entire electronics supply chain
Trump said on social media: No country can "escape" because of the unfair trade deficit and non-monetary tariff barriers against us. No "tariff exemption" was announced on Friday. They are simply classified into different tariff "categories". Fake news media know this, but refuse to report it truthfully. In the upcoming national security tariff investigation, we are focusing on semiconductors and the entire electronics supply chain. We have to make products locally in the United States. The golden age of the United States is approaching, including the upcoming tax cuts and regulatory cuts, a considerable number of which have been approved by the House and Senate, which will mean more, higher-paying jobs to make products in our country.

The U.S. Attorney's Office of the Central District of Pennsylvania disclosed that NFT trader Waylon Wilcox pleaded guilty to two charges of filing false personal income tax returns. The trader sold 62 CryptoPunk NFTs in 2021, making about $7.4 million in profits, and then sold another 35 CryptoPunk NFTs in 2022, making $4.9 million. However, Waylon Wilco filed a false personal income tax return for the 2021 tax year in April 2022, underreporting approximately $8.5 million in income tax and approximately $2.1 million in tax payable; in October 2023, underreporting approximately $4.6 million in income tax and nearly $1.1 million in tax payable. Under federal law, the maximum penalty for these crimes is a total of six years in prison, with a period of supervised release and a fine after being imprisoned.

▌ MANTRA: The token OM plunge was triggered by reckless liquidation and has nothing to do with the project itself
The OM token of MANTRA, the Layer 1 blockchain project focused on RWA, fell about 10% between 01:20 and 02:20 am today, and then suddenly plummeted from $5.21 at the time to about $0.50 at the moment (as of press time), and plummeted 90% in just 90 minutes. Before the project's public-facing Telegram group was inaccessible, community head Dustin McDaniel downplayed the team's sell-off allegations, saying it was unaware of the situation. At 04:51 a.m., MANTRA's X account updated, saying that the plunge was triggered by reckless liquidation and had nothing to do with the project itself. Co-founder John Patrick Mullin mentioned that a large OM investor was forced to liquidate CEX on a large scale and said it was dealing with it. Previously, MANTRA was accused of controlling a large proportion of the token's supply in circulation and trying to manipulate the price of the token. Mullin responded: "OM tokens have been in circulation since August 2020, which has been in the crypto field for a longer time than most doubters."
Some investors pointed out that DeFiLlama data shows that MANTRA protocol TVL is only about $13 million, while its token is fully diluted and its valuation is as high as $9.5 billion, which may be a risk signal. In addition, Insomniac, head of governance at Castle Labs, found that three wallets recently transferred millions of dollars of OM tokens to OKX and Binance. One of the wallets received about $36 million of OM tokens from Binance on March 21, and transferred about 4.3 million tokens to OKX on Saturday, suggesting a possible sell-off.
▌Maybe due to OM flash crash and accidentally touching the strategy, the market maker algorithm abnormally pushes up BTCDOM perpetual contract by 20%
An unidentified market maker experienced an algorithm error after the OM (Mantra) flash crash, accidentally boosting the BTCDOM (Bitcoin Market Value Index) perpetual contract on the Binance platform by 20%.
The BTCDOM index components include Binance and Binance Futures’ top 20 cryptocurrencies in market value. Excluding BTC and stablecoins, the OM weight is only about 5%. This abnormal fluctuation is suspected to be caused by market makers who mistakenly judged that the sharp fluctuation of OM prices was a change in the market structure, and they accidentally touched strategic buying operations.
▌Gold ETF inflows hit three-year highs, PAXG and XAUT outperform the broader cryptocurrency market
As the traditional gold market heats up, cryptocurrency investors have followed suit and turned to invest in tokenized versions of this precious metal, which provide both price exposure and digital flexibility. The cryptocurrencies supported by gold such as Paxos Gold (PAXG) and Tether Gold (XAUT) have risen 24.15% and 23.7% respectively this year, hitting new highs of more than $3,300, roughly the same as spot gold. Subsequently, their prices fell slightly to $3265 and $3244 respectively.
Although gold-backed cryptocurrencies have risen sharply so far this year, the broader crypto market is on a downward trend. Bitcoin has fallen more than 11% so far this year, while the overall cryptocurrency market has fallen a little over 30%. These tokens, backed by physical gold and tracked their prices, soared as investors seek to avoid uncertainty arising from the escalation of the Sino-US trade war. This move reflects the broader return of gold as a safe-haven asset.
According to RWA.xyz, inflows of gold ETFs reached 226.5 tons in the first quarter of 2025, the highest level since the beginning of 2022, with nearly 60% of demand coming from North America. Gold-backed cryptocurrencies netted more than $42.7 million in tokens in the first quarter of this year, along with the rise in gold prices, pushing its total market capitalization to nearly $1.4 billion.
▌ ETH market share fell to 7.07%
